Scott B. Goldshaw

I was represented by Scott Goldshaw and his partner for more than 12 years as a whistleblower. Over that time, they got to know my character well—something even recognized by the judge during trial. After prevailing in the case, I lost my job, career, health, and safety to retaliation. When I sought ...their help again, I was told to “move on,” left completely abandoned while they collected nearly a million dollars in fees from my case. Since then, I have faced further violence, blacklisting, and threats, and made every effort to provide them with documentation and updates about my continued struggle for justice—including filings before the Supreme Court of the United States. Scott refused to even review what I had filed or learn what has happened to me since, dismissing my request for a simple statement or amicus letter. I now know that the abandonment I felt after my case was not just a suspicion—it’s now confirmed by his unwillingness to acknowledge the harm or even review the facts. If you are a whistleblower or civil rights plaintiff, be warned: this firm profited from my work, then left me alone and unheard. Justice shouldn’t end the moment a case concludes. As seasoned civil rights and whistleblower advocates, they know exactly what retaliation looks like. Scott knows better, and his response is morally bankrupt.

I hired Scott Goldshaw to represent my law firm in a contentious dispute. From our first discussion, Scott showed his keen insight and real compassion. In fact, that initial conversation immediately made me a better lawyer - I realized I needed to try harder to be as empathetic as Scott in my own c...lient communications. Throughout our difficult case, Scott, his associate, Christen, and the firm's courteous staff worked conscientiously for me, always keeping me in the loop. He clearly earned the respect of opposing counsel and the court. And we achieved a terrific result. I highly recommend him.

I met Scott on one of the worst days of my life. I'd worked with plenty of attorneys before and didn't have high hopes , just figuring he'd be moderately helpful and transactional while billing the heck out of me. I'm so glad I was wrong. Scott brings a lot to the table when you hire him to help you..., ensuring he is worth every penny. (1) He treats you like a human. I cried during most of our first week of conversations but he insisted on FaceTiming on day 1 so that he could let me see him and know that there was someone who cared on my team. It made an enormous difference to my ability to engage and survive in my own battle. (2) He is patient and thorough, making sure you not only understand your options but nudging you to consider them thoroughly. He adapted to my complex learning style after just a few weeks. (3) He's a brilliant strategic thinker who can help you find ways to win even when it seems like all is lost. At the same time he is willing to admit mistakes and open to others' ideas. (4) He writes well and cares enough to be sure that his communications are very clear and accurate so they are received as intended. This is also strategic and a winning move. (5) He is very clearly in law because he loves it and what it can do for people. I never had a single moment where I felt like a billable hour. I plan to work with Scott on all matters employment until he retires. I don't care what he costs, I know it will be worth it. I can't say that for any of the other lawyers I've ever hired, nor for many other professionals in my life. This high praise is extremely well deserved.

Simply put, Scott is the lawyer you want by your side in a very stressful time in your life. From the moment I called his office, Scott has always made me feel that my case is the only case he was fighting for at the time. Of course this is not true, but he never rushed me off the phone, was very r...eceptive to my concerns and replied to EVERY one of my emails in a timely fashion. At times, I had to remind Scott that I also needed a healthy lawyer fighting for me and reminded him to not to work 24/7. Scott anticipated their every move and was always one step ahead of them. He carefully explained everything to me, both sides, and the risks involved. He fought for me when at times I couldn't fight for myself. Not only did it end in a settlement and resignation rather than termination, I felt like I won the day I hired Scott to represent me. Thank you Scott for leading me through a very difficult time in my life. I appreciate all the hard work you put into my case. Anyone who hires you will certainly not be disappointed.

I'll explain. First things first - Scott got me a 6 figure settlement in an employment dispute I had. Before hiring him, I spoke with other attorneys, and no one was able to understand the situation nearly as well as Scott did, and no one better understood the stresses this was putting on my fam...ily. After I hired him, I don't know a better word to use - he was magnificent. My ex-employer is huge. My allegations of unethical behavior were very serious. So they had the resources and incentive to fight me hard. And they did. They brought both their in-house lawyers and hired external attorneys from a very big name law firm to come at me. Scott outmaneuvered them like he was Neo from the Matrix, effortlessly dodging bullets. It was almost spooky sometimes, he anticipated what they were going to do long before they did it, and his brilliant/aggressive tactics were therefore that much more effective. He also continually was thinking about my allegations against the company. He knew that was important to me to ensure the unethical behavior ended. And because of that, it was important to him. We were 100% successful. Scott is a very nice guy, but there are lots of nice people out there. What makes Scott unique is he would always tell me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. Sometimes I would get emotional and overreach, and he would clearly let me know what I was doing was not helpful to achieving our goals. He would clearly tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of different options, and let me decide based on what was more valuable and important to me. With Scott as your attorney, your stress level will dramatically drop. He is on top of everything, and stays cool and calculating at all times. He will outhink opposing counsel and be as aggressive as necessary to be maximally effective. Most importantly he will be looking out for you - your financial situation, your stress level, and what's overall best for you and the people most important to you. Only the strongest Employment Attorney can excel in all these areas. Scott Goldshaw is, simply put, the strongest Employment Attorney.
